The intent of the R-2 Single-Family Residential Use District is to delineate areas for the development of detached or attached single-family residential uses at densities similar to that of the R-1 Use District, but with the ability to utilize design and planning concepts to create a planned and desirable residential living environment while protecting existing and future uses. The R-2 District protects the integrity of these residential areas by prohibiting the intrusion of any use which is not compatible with these types and intensities of use.
